Update XXI: "Scientific Facts Are Not Hard And Fast Rules."

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I always wonder what he did to that poor girl to cause her to rip him publicly to this day. Poor Allison.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I really don't know why he won't date her. Maybe he's just afraid of women. They are awful, I agree, but we cant live without them.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

We need go establish that she dumped him the second time because he was basically afraid to touch or look at her. I bet she barely got a hug from him.

I know this because an hour prior to the public announcement of the split, bushie claimed that she was who he would marry. Fast forward an hour, they were broken up. I don't think she wanted to leave him, but he was giving her no choice. By "respecting her," he wasn't giving her what she wanted.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'm sad that thread was deleted. My favorite all time Update quote will always be: I am going to be a father. then he went on to explain he will be a real dad and not just a stand in for Tiffanye's other child.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I can see Update is going the way of Bag Boy! I'd love to see bushie work for Myers Superfoods!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I love when jealous bushie comes out to play! He does still have feelings for her!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Considering pretty much every job opportunity Bushie finds eventually receives some criticism along the lines of "They're paying you too much." or "you wouldn't be good at it." or "you'd hate it too much to do well at it.", or "this probably isn't legitimate" etc. etc., I'm not surprised he doesn't want the name of the grocery store released. Sometimes, this criticism is merited, yes, but that doesn't mean it's not discouraging to one's future job searching. So it makes sense that Bushie would do what he can to keep any job-search related criticism he doesn't seek out through pms to a minimum.

This is a man that quit his job at the has company to work for a scam and has been known to send his social security number to people on this very forum.

Bushie needs all the help he can get from us. After all, he'd be in jail if it weren't for Update!

This is great! What will you be doing in the meat department? Cutting meat? Hauling sides of cows?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I am wishing you the best bushie. I just hope you get serious about eating Ryder so you'll not be calling in sick every other week and then eventually get fired.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Well, you can't criticize him for that. I do hope he learns about meat and how to cook it. Most people will ask things like that and not random technicalities of cuts of meat.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

You know there are tons of ways to cook meat aside from grilling? It just depends what cut. You wouldn't want to grill a tough cut like an eye of round or a chuck roast.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

And most steakhouses don't even grill their steaks. They broil them at a very high temperature.

So yeah, there is plenty to learn. If you need any help, feel free to ask. Cooking is one of my passions.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Oh Bushie. You have plenty of time! Don't just plan to cook. Do it. This will be your job and if you don't know anything about what you're doing you won't last long.

I'm rooting for you so don't screw it up!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yes, they sell the same cuts as a Walmart or wherever else, but they're usually USDA prime, select or angus beef. Or local meat that's grass fed. But almost all places sell the same cuts. It doesn't look much different than normal meat.

I will say you have a lot more to learn than I thought.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yes. Browning ground meat is a start. Cooking any meat isn't that difficult. Salt and pepper is really all you need on a good steak like a ribeye. Maybe you can try that after you brown some hamburger.

Will you also be selling pork, lamb, and chicken? Or just red meat?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

You can't smoke indoors now, Bushie! Even at bars!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

You can't smoke indoors now, Bushie! Even at bars!

That's news to me.  I knew you couldn't smoke indoors at restaurants, but I didn't know that applied to bars, as well.  Still, the aroma of alcoholic beverages in bars is sickening.  I do not like the smell of booze.  It literally makes me sick to my stomach.

You can smell booze? I didn't realize they gave off that much of an odor unless it's on your breath or someone throws up.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

All he needs to do now is retain this information. I keep forgetting he lacks even the basic cooking skills. Learning this stuff will be a major undertaking!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Mama Bushie' coddling is the source of much of Bushie's troubles. I think that has been well established. He has been treated as an invalid most of his life by his mother and now he's 33 years old and incapable of doing even the basic things for himself.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

At least we are learning a bit more about Bushie's weight and it's connection to his depression. The reason he eats like he does is because he's lonely and depressed, which is understandable. I just don't understand why he won't get back together with Allison. She was a good companion for him and I miss Jeffison.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

It was a bad 32.8 years.

I wouldn't go that far.

Name one diet where you've actually lost at least 10 pounds during the first 4 weeks. ONE.

November 2011-February 2012 - I lost nearly 30 pounds overall in that diet and over 10 pounds in the first month.  I've since gained it all back, but I'm not without precedent in losing weight.  I got down to the high 250's from 285.  If I can just get back to what I did then, I'd be in a whole lot better shape.  The problem is after I got back from Kenya that March, I fell off the diet.

Wasn't that when you admitted lying to us about your weight? Or maybe that was a different time. I can't keep them straight anymore.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I love how Bushie's parents still treat him like he's 6 years old. It never gets old listening to how they react when he tries to do something an adult would do!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Sugar addictions are just as bad as alcohol and tobacco. That's a dirty secret no one really wants to admit. Bushie has a sugar addiction evidenced by his weight and by his statements that he eats the way he does so he can feel better, just like alcoholics drink to feel better.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I've had a life insurance policy since 2005.  It's a pretty big one, too.

WHY???

Who do you provide for monetarily that would be desolate if something unfortunate occurred?

I hope I'm not coming across as rude, but I don't understand the logic in that. Who's paying these premiums?

I have life insurance too. My family gets it if I die. I assume that's how Bushie's is structured too. I've had my policy since I was a baby.

What did you have at chili's?
